Phi-Fic Chapter 249 Governor
Chapter 249 Governor
Captain Feng opened the prison door and asked his brothers to move the things Qin Huiyin sent in, and then he reorganized the prison for them.
Although Captain Feng had given them special care, keeping their cell much cleaner and tidier than other cells, they didn't have the financial resources to get such good living supplies. Qin Huiyin had considered everything, including bedding, food, daily necessities, and even a large number of books to pass the time. It looked like she was going to settle here for a long time.
The prison was now much tidier and cleaner. The once empty prison now looked like a warm little home.
Qin Huiyin put down the basket she was carrying, opened the lid, and took out the six dishes inside.
"Sister Huiyin, you are so thoughtful." Jiang Qibin was almost moved to tears. "I was just saying I was envious of your cooking skills, but I didn't expect my wish to come true so soon."
"I'll bring you food tomorrow." Qin Huiyin said, "Take your time to eat."
Song Ruize said calmly, "Don't come here. This is a prison, full of blood and gloom. If you come here as a girl, be careful not to have nightmares when you go back."
"Yes, don't listen to him. He has gained a lot of weight recently. If he eats any more, he will turn into a pig." Zhou Jinyuan said to Jiang Qibin with disgust.
"I'm fine. The elder brothers in the county government take special care of me. With them protecting me, I won't be afraid." Qin Huiyin said, "I can't help you with anything else, but at least I can make sure you have better food. As long as I see that you are doing well, I can rest assured."
A bailiff came in and said a few words to Captain Feng.
Captain Feng's face changed drastically. He strode over and said to Qin Huiyin, "Sister, a new governor has arrived, and he's here just for this case."
"I'll leave right away." Qin Huiyin understood that the new official had an unknown temperament and his intentions were unclear, so the entire yamen had to deal with him carefully.
"Not only do we have to leave, but we'll also have to take those things back. New officials don't know the Song brothers as well as the county magistrate and Lord Wen do. If they have preconceived notions about them and see them being treated so well in prison, they might think the entire government is protecting them, and their impression of them will be even worse."
Qin Huiyin looked around, feeling distressed. However, she understood that Captain Feng had a point. Before she understood the governor's temperament, it was best to behave properly.
So, the things that were just moved in have not been used yet, and now they have to be sent back intact.
"Brothers, come and help." Captain Feng urged, "Sister Huiyin, talk to your brother for a few more words, then you have to leave. Don't come here for the time being."
"elder brother……"
Song Ruize touched her head and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll be fine."
"May I help you?"
"I have people outside. Skinny Monkey and the others, you know, they can help me with a lot of things. I'll be fine, you just need to wait outside for me to come out, and then go horseback riding with me. I asked you to go horseback riding last time, but we never had the chance."
"it is good."
Captain Feng started urging again.
Qin Huiyin picked up the basket and prepared to leave.
The table was moved away and the food had to be placed on the floor.
Captain Feng instructed several yamen runners to watch over here and take away the bowls and chopsticks after they finished eating.
Captain Feng sent Qin Huiyin out and told her not to come over in the next few days. In addition, they would definitely find a way to help him investigate clues and clear his suspicion.
"Brother Feng, could you help me find out about this governor's personality and reputation?" Qin Huiyin said, "I'm a little worried."
"Don't worry, the county magistrate and Lord Wen both rely heavily on Song Ruize and will definitely protect him. I'll just drop you off here, and you should be careful on your way back."
Li Taohua stretched her neck and looked out the door.
Tang Yichen came out with tea and said, "Aunt Li, you've been waiting here for half an hour. Drink some water to moisten your throat and calm down."
"I should have gone with her. How could I let her go to a place like a prison alone? I was so confused at the time that I didn't think about it much." Li Taohua said angrily.
"Yinyin is the pillar of our family. We're used to following her orders, so whatever she says goes without much thought. Aunt Li, everyone at the county government office knows her, so she'll be fine. I think she lost track of time while talking to them in jail and stayed a little too long. She'll be back soon."
"Have you heard about what happened at the dam in the academy? Do you know anything about it?"
"Everyone is busy with their studies and rarely leaves the academy. How would they know what's happening outside? Even if there are some rumors, they are almost the same as what's happening outside." Tang Yichen said.
"Yinyin is back." Tang Luwu said, pointing to the front.
Qin Huiyin drove back in the carriage.
Li Taohua hurried forward to meet him.
Qin Huiyin stopped the carriage and said to the waiter next to him, "Go in and call a few people to help me move the things."
Li Taohua opened the curtain and saw that the things she had just sent had returned intact. She frowned and said, "Why are they being brought back again? Did the government not allow you to visit Song Ruize? Then is what he did this time true? Did he really kill people, more than a dozen people? If so, I won't give him these things even if I burn them."
"Mom, don't get excited. He was wrongly accused." Qin Huiyin said, "The reason we brought the things back is because a governor appeared. The government has tightened its supervision. We dare not leave these things behind, fearing that the governor will interrogate my brother at any time."
"All is fine, and here comes another high-ranking official, making everything so chaotic." Li Taohua was obviously disgusted with the 'high-ranking official'.
Tang Yichen said, "You must be tired. The food is warm. I'll bring it out for you."
Qin Huiyin was indeed hungry and ate the warm food in big mouthfuls.
Li Taohua was worried that she would get stuck in a rut, but now seeing her like this, there is no need to worry anymore.
"I can't interfere with government affairs, and I can't help with anything else. I just have to take care of the business and make more money. Who knows when the money will come in handy. I also have to keep an eye on the people in the snack shop. They're all refugees my brother took in. When my brother comes out, he'll see that everything is the same as when he went in, and he'll have less to worry about."
"Brother Chen, how's your new classmate doing lately? Why haven't I seen him come to dinner?" Li Taohua asked. "He gave us so much money during the Chinese New Year, and we were still thinking about taking care of his three meals a day. Once he leaves here and returns to the capital, we won't have to worry about him anymore."
"He got into a fight not long ago and was punished by the Master with thirty lashes. He's lying on his bed right now, unable to even get off the floor," Tang Yichen said. "He knew I was coming to Chuan Chuan Xiang and asked me to bring him some good food. I've already packed it. I'll just have to make him some barbecue and mutton roujiamo later."
"You kid, he was beaten and you still gave him these greasy foods. He should eat something light during this period and not those with strong flavors." Li Taohua said.
